Which Bluetooth Tracker is Right for You?

Now that Apple has joined the fray the market for Bluetooth trackers is sure to blow up! CNet has a handy breakdown of the big three ready-made trackers. Most decisions will probably come down to whatever devices you already have but they do all have some unique features.

If you’re in the market for some Bluetooth tracker tech, you’ve got a number of options. We’ll break down the three gadgets everyone is talking about so you can decide which tag is best for helping you find your stuff.

One factor setting AirTags apart from the competition is a feature called Precision Finding, which works using Apple’s U1 chip and its ultrawideband technology. Precision Finding uses a combination of Apple’s ARKit software and the phone’s camera, accelerometer and gyroscope to guide you to your AirTag using sound and haptic and visual feedback. With the Find My app, you’ll get helpful notes like how many feet away your AirTag is, and in what direction. Precision Finding also has a voice-over option to help low-vision or blind users.
